I did not know that the Monk Seal is endangered. We saw 3 during the week. One morning I hit the beach at 6 am and watch 2 of them playing in the waves and then they rolled up onto the shore and sunned themselves. They are darling and watching them is really cool. They kind of like to be alone thus the name monk so we all gave them plenty of space and just enjoyed the fun nature of them. I also did not know that the chicken is revered in Kauai. It is a federal offence to harass the chickens that roam the island freely. They all got blown around back during a cat.5 hurricane which destroyed the fern grotto and Lynda's beloved Coco Palms. Another local spot is Spouting Horn which can be spectacular. It shoots water 50 feet in the air. It sounds like a dragon lives in there and is very great to imagine all kinds of things about the place. It used to shoot 200 feet up but they blew it up in the 1940 so the sugar cane would grow better without the ocean salt spray You can see the old hole.Thursday, September 18, 2008

Speaking of Coco Palms, we really wanted to take a look inside, so we pulled up in the parking lot, called the number on the sign and a sweet little groundskeeper (who was horribly bored that day) offered to take us on a personal tour of the whole place. He even gave us Coco Palms room keys and some souvenirs from the hotels' heyday. It was pretty amazing!
